Have a Heart

The Have a Heart Golf Tournament was an organ donor awareness event and a benefit for Nate G.'s family held on Sunday. My dear friend Kim organized the event with a ton of help from Nate's family, friends, and community members, including many generous donations from local businesses.

Nate and his family have had a rough time these past five months since bacteria was found around his heart in April that lead to his need of a new heart. Thankfully Nate's story has a happy ending: he received a heart transplant in early July. Unfortunately, there are many others that are not as fortunate as Nate and are still waiting for their second chance at life.

For more of Nate's story, check out his wife's blog about their journey here. To register to be an organ donor and for more information about being a donor, click here.
